Time for an Introduction: Afterlife

[Anvil]

Keep an open mind to other's opinions. No one is wrong here, because there is no proof or conclusion.

 

[Norsemaiden]

Open mind, yes, but logic is a good idea too.
The Viking afterlife is cool, compared with other ideas of paradise. In Valhalla they fight all day and drink in the beer hall all night.

If I were to believe in a afterlife, I still think Islam has got it all over every other religion. How many beautiful virgins does one receive? Drinking and fighting are fun if your'e a teenager, but I personally would prefer my own angelic harem for eternity.

Isn't it 70 beautiful virgins?

Yup.

Now I wonder, will I be allowed to select them, as if I am in a brothel? WIll they line up Redheads, Asians, Africans and gymanists for me to choose? I mean, I'd like a little variety in eternity. And also, if I die an old man, will I have the vigor of a young man, is there a pharmacist who can prescribe me some Viagra, or am I going to have a eternity of platonic lust here?--that would be true hell!

What about poor Muslim women? Do they get 70 young bucks to satisfy them?

It is interesting that (I'm assuming) that level of promiscuity is frowned upon when these Muslims are on Earth - yet the sin turns into a reward once you are dead. Aren't there also fountains of wine in Muslim paradise? In some versions of the Christian hell you get this kind of opportunity - like in Gillan's hit song "No Laughing in Heaven", (do you all know it?). In hell they party every night, but in Heaven they read extracts from the Bible and look solumn.
I think the Viking heaven is very reflective of the psychology of a Viking, no matter how old he is.

Muslim Heaven versus Viking Heaven would make for an interesting debate

Wish to set out a question?

 

[Anvil]

I'm always up for debating... Thats the purpose of the internet.

To leak sex videos on too.

To leak sex videos on too.

Ah yes, almost forgot that one. It's actually best described as, "Somewhere to bitch about movies and share pornography with one another."

really i just didn't get the whole Muslim getting virgins in heaven thing, having 70 virgins would be hell not heaven for me because trying to be with virgins is annoying, you have to teach them what to do

Well, you would have eternity to do so.

I just checked this on the net. It is 72 black eyed virgins, to be precise.
http://www.claremont.org/writings/crb/fall2001/feldner.html

This also mentions that they are wives. Muhammed "The smallest reward for the people of paradise is an abode where there are 80,000 servants and 72 wives, over which stands a dome decorated with pearls, aquamarine, and ruby."

The "black eyes" are mentioned in vs74 of the same Surah in the Koran. That the women have "downcast eyes" indicating that they are chaste, is also mentioned.

Suprise suprise, its a religion.

 

[Anvil]

In my opinion, I believe that religion is our main cause of, not only war, but strong conflicts.
